[At end of personal essay:] If he has any spark of grace
left, let him read the following lines of the great Mr.
Addison, and blush at his putting on the mask of patriotism
to conceal his own base purpose of wounding the man against
whom he has nothing to urge but diversity of sentiment in
politics.
There the brave youth with love of virtue fir'd,
Who greatly in his country's cause expir'd,
Shall know he conquer'd; the firm patriot there
Who make the welfare of mankind his care
. . . [2 more lines, signed] J. H * * *
